i think zelda and Mario would look kinda scary in hd unless they kept the really cartoon like art direction.


Metroid i couldnt care less about i dont like that series, it seems like a boring unfun version of half life 2, halo like game

Probably starfox or f-zero, that would bee good.

METROID IS NOT A FPS. STOP COMPARING IT WITH FPS' PEOPLE. METROID IS AN ACTION-ADVENTURE, OR SPECIFICALLY  A FIRST PERSON ADVENTURE.IT IS IN NO WAY SIMILAR TO HALO, OR HALF-LIFE.

@OP I don't really care.  There are tons of Wii visuals that I prefer to that of PS360 games.  I guess Zelda would look nice, but graphics are a really shallow part of a game, and imo don't matter at all. I would rather a nice art direction than high quality graphics with a bad art direction(I'm not saying all HD games have bad art directions).

 

METROID IS AN FPS , ITLOOKS LIKE AN FPS , IT PLAYS LIKE AN FPS , IT BLOODY SOUNDS LIKE AN FPS , I'VE PLAYED IT !

Sc is in denial claiming that there are many Wii games which are superior in visuals in comparison to PS3/360 games , I hope he's talking purley about art direction since that's subjective ( if he's actualy talking about graphics he'd be proven wrong even against launch titles).

Personaly i'd love a HD Wii , I want Smash Bros Brawl , Red Faction 2 , Kid Icarus , Super Mario Galaxy , Zelda  GIMME IN HD.

 

A First Person Shooter is a sub-genre of action games. Action games are for the most part linear. Action games usually focus on things like speed, and also feature alot more battles. Action-Adventures on the other hand focus on non-linearity, and usually have aspects of puzzle solving, and are less focused on battles. Metroid Prime 3 is a First Person Adventure. It features puzzle solving, less battles, backtracking, open world, and upgrades similar to other Action Adventures. It is for the most part a First Person Zelda game with a different setting and Weapons. Calling metroid a First Person Shooter is like calling Zelda a hack n slash. Just look at the 2d roots of metroid. It wasn't considered and Action game like most side scroller shooter games, but an Action-Adventure.  If you want to learn more on the differences between a First Person Shooter, and a First Person Adventure here are some links. Also the creators of the game(retro studios, and Nintendo) both call it a First Person Adventure, and Not a first person shooter. Metroid's gameplay is very different from that of Half Life or Halo. The only Metroid game that is an FPS is Metroid Prime Hunters, and I despise the game, and don't even think it should even have metroid in the name.

As for the visuals. I was talking about how much I like the picture on the screen of some Wii games compared to how much I like the picture on the screen of Most HD games. Which means I like the content of the picture rather of than the Quality. So yes I'm talking about Art Direction.
